Dés-Geszti
The jubilee concert of László Dés and Péter Geszti is a celebration of 30 years of friendship and joint creative work of the legendary composer duo, which will be celebrated together with the audience in a big concert on 29 December 2025 in the MVM Dome.
Schedule
The exceptional evening, entitled Concert of Our Lives, will feature a number of guest performers, including Dés-Geszti's greatest pop hits and film songs, songs from the hit musicals The Boys from Pál Street and The Jungle Book, and, as a special premiere surprise, the first performance of excerpts from the couple's upcoming new theatre piece, the musical about Sándor Petőfi, entitled My Love, Freedom!
On this occasion, Dés and Geszti will not only perform music and sing, but also share their personal stories behind some of their songs, recalling the humorous and emotional twists and turns of their friendship.
"I have long wished that we would perform our most important songs together. In this sense, I see this concert not only as a composer, but as a multiplier, because it will be a great pleasure for me to play together all night long. This concert of a lifetime will be a sincere and emotional summation of 30 years of friendship, with our musicals, pop hits and film songs performed by us and our guests. I am particularly excited that this evening will be the first time we will present excerpts from our new musical about Petőfi." - Péter Geszti
"For a creative person, the most important thing is always what he is working on. Péter and I are writing the life of Petőfi for the musical stage. And this gives us something quite different from our previous works.
MVM Dome
MVM Dome is the seventh largest indoor event venue in Europe. Its capacity for sports events and concerts is significantly higher than that of the Budapest Sports Arena. It has 20,022 seats; a total of 50,000 square metres of floor space; innovative, rearrangeable spaces for many indoor sports (handball, basketball and volleyball, futsal, ice hockey, tennis, skating) as well as certain athletic, equestrian and motorcycle competitions, and even swimming competitions and water polo matches in the mobile pool. Through the six entrances to the building, spectators can enter the arena’s interior using eight escalators, leading to the walk-through grandstands accessible on three levels. The structure of the building’s exterior is reminiscent of muscle fibres: the light strips placed on the outward-leaning, elliptical sections not only embrace the building, but the light shows, programmed using various colours, appear to set the entire building in motion. There is a 600 square metre display on the façade of the building. The Main Entrance leads to an impressive foyer, where visitors will be greeted by a grandiose hanging light installation of 848 handmade glass tubes. The programmable sports lighting is also suitable for HDTV broadcasts of the highest-level world competitions, as well as for super-slow-motion recordings due to flicker free technology. The lighting system also plays an important role in the events and concerts, as it is suitable for changing the colour temperature of the auditorium, which means that the lighting functions can be changed without rearranging the arena, only through the pre-programmed lighting controls. This design is the first and is unique in Europe for luminaires of this power. A central display (cube) provides information in the auditorium during the events.
